The University of Massachusetts Lowell's (UMass Lowell) Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center (ETIC) has a new Sumitomo (SHI) Demag SE-EV Series all-electric injection molding machine as part of that machinery supplier's commitment to "keep the university supplied with the latest technology from Sumitomo (SHI) Demag."

Mike Formella, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag's national sales manager, told PlasticsToday that UMass Lowell has utilized Sumitomo (SHI) Demag machines for many years, with the newest press on loan for a one-year period. The university also has an SE75DUZ all-electric, which was on loan and later acquired by the university. That machine is currently located in the Ball Hall injection molding lab.
